Blum - Moving Ideas for Sustainability

11 We produce high-quality products with a long service life, that are as functional as possible for their intended application. We also conserve the resources within our ecosystem or, if this is not possible, we take measures to compensate for the impact we have. We continuously explore how a sustainable approach can open up opportunities for new products, services and busi- ness models – including in our investment decisions. We treat the people and organisations in our communities with respect because the health and safety of our fellow human beings is our top priority. We are absolutely committed to responsible growth. Eco- logical and social sustainability are just as important to us as the financial health of our company. For a global company like ours, this means: 1. 2. 3. 4.
